Welcome to poker hell.

The Indian casinos, Dog and Horse tracks are the only options. Cash games are limited to 2 dollar bets and all tournies are way to much vig and very fast stuctures. On the bright side, all of these place are always busy and full and there are alot of people here whom don't mind spending their mony. If and it's a big if, the Indians were ever able to secure Class 3 gaming and spread full limits, poker hell would turn into poker nirvana imo.

Hmm.. That really f-ing sucks... Well, 1 question.. HOw did the "Grinder" from Hollywood Florida get so good? Did he just play online, or whats his story?

It depends on the buyin amount. The vig is drastically reduced and the starting chips are much more at the higher levels. You do get raped on lower buyin S&G's.

The multi table touneys are very good now. They are doing 30-40 min levels and are covering all the blinds whereas before they were 15 min levels and the blinds doubled.
You get much more playing time now.

I visit my best friend in South Beach a few times a year and there are:
. Private games (if you can find them)
. Gay ass dog track ($2max)
. Boats that go to international waters (though there may not be any game when you get there)
. The internet

I live in Florida and it is terrible here. I play online only. No use to go out to a casino to play.

Now they have unlimited pots but 2 dollar max bet is still the law.

Here's how the Immokalee casino used to be: $10 pot limit; once the pot reached 10 bucks then all cards were turned up and the rest of the board was dealt. Winner gets the pot after the casino raked 2 bucks out. I saw this and never went back.

best bet is sun cruz for cash games-- boats that leave for international waters for like 8 hours- they run like twice a day - daily.
if you are near any hard rock casinos -- they usually run some sng's NL tournies -- like 100-200 buy ins. and they have multi table tournies too.
Anything else -- u gotta head over to the Gulf.
Good luck -- i;ve recently left florida. It is poker Hell.

Yep...Save your money, buy a cheap Southwest air fare to Vegas or better yet, go to Mississippi, which is closer and get your fix. Internet is about it after that. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I would like to know, too, please. I've noticed that the structures of a few MTTs have improved slightly, but they're still far from good. If there's a "very good" one somewhere, please tell us.
